Sounds like the muffler bearings need replacing.

If you aren't joking then your clutch is toast or motor is shot (or you weight 500lbs).

Bro, you're forgetting to lock it. Pop it, then lock it. And instead of revving it in first, try ramming it in first. 250s definitely prefer to be rammed in. I rev the el diablo out of my 450 tho

Twist the thing in your right hand a little more. No, not that- the thing on the handlebar.

Try a fresh tampon to lighten the load.

ok no need to be hard on the guy.
get going about ten mph, pull in the clutch, hold throttle wide open. and sit as far back on the seat as you can, and dump the clutch. bike will hold a perfect wheelie as long as you hold the throttle wide open.

Have you tried DOT tires? All those wheelie boys all run DOT tires so they are legal...makes it way easier.

Lol. If you're out of them, just head back up the Honda dealer to get a box of the OEM ones.

order a new rear fender, put a pillow in the back of your jersey and purposely wheelie over a couple times, then you will realize how far back you need to be. (disclaimer - I do not recommend doing this)

My friend had this problem too, the dealer said it was the ECU so he changed it with no luck. Turns out that his sprocket bolts was too loose so he simply lost the drive when he held it wide open.

I've found that switching from the yellow powerband to the purple gives your bike a little more snap off the bottom end.

Have you tried taking off the front and rear brake rotors yet? That's where I would start. Remove them both start it up and run wide open. Make sure you are going in at least 3rd or 4th gear before attempting the wheelie. The more speed the better.

That's only for SAE bolts. Honda's have metric sprocket bolts, in which case it's lefty tighty righty loosey.

I'll be the first non-sarcastic non-comedian:.

Are you trying to wheeling in sandy or loose terrain? If yes you are getting wheel spin
Are you trying to wheelie at too high of an RPM? You need to keep the RPMs in the mid range where there is torque

Find some nice wet dirt or grass and if your bike won't hook up and wheelie then something is really wrong.

Well I prob do something wrong with the clutch or I don't give enough throttle then poping the clutch idk.But in 1 gear with little pull up it lifts I can't hold it but with allot of attempts will happen idk why I can't with the clutch. I notice that when I compress the forks it lifts easier.
P.S sorry for the bad English I am from Bulgaria.Regards
